Today is ...
... my birthday. Im 38. I have a husband who loves me. Three wonderful Kids. Good, true friends who know me and STILL love me. I have had the best birthday 24 hours. Last night I went for dinner with my some of my closest friends, lots of food, drinks and laughs. It amazes me that in a town that can have such a demented mining mentality there are still so many precious gems to be found and I am blessed. Today was wonderful, I was woken by my babies climbing into bed with pressies and cards - yummy chocolate and a chunky gold bracelet from Marcus, some very generous vouchers to spend at my favourite shop here in town and a voucher for my wonderful hairdresser *grin* all the things a girl could want. I got to spend the whole day in my jammies even when my SIL, brother and a couple of girlfriends dropped by for coffee this morning. I feel like Ive been on the phone all day chatting to family and friends and answering a tonne of emails from my cyber buddies wishing me well for today. Tonight Marcus has left for a course in Perth so the kids and I had a slap up dinner followed by ice cream cake *yummo* and tomorrow Im having lunch with my big brother at the pub. Its good to be me today.
I put together a couple of photos from dinner last night ... there are more BUT these are about the only ones I could share *cough cough* Love these girls - they make me laugh and make me happy.
I do have some scrapping projects to share and a little bit of news as well but that will have to wait for another day -
Finally I want to give a HUGE welcome back to the wonderfully funny and talented Alison Shearer. She has come back to the fold and rejoined us at S&C. So good to have her 'home'
hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine.
later :o)
Happy Birthday!! 38 is an awesome age to be! Sounds as though you have had a lovely time with your family & friends.
